The 'simulation' was an AR not a VR. The chip implanted into E42 was there to manipulate and control him through his perception of the real world, not to put him into a virtual world. The events that happened within the simulation were real. There was an entire artificial city built to contain and experiment on the 'assets'. The 'mascot monsters' are the result of, what I can only assume, that world's version of SCP-610 that has an intelligence and has attached itself to the 'older scarier' versions of the mascots. The cow was never defeated so when E42 escaped he left the door open and it escaped with him.
@@thaariqbinaziz2821 I believe the farmer was defeated somehow through his boss fight (although anti-climactically), but the fish is definitely out there. Maybe they just couldn't work his fight into the game.
@@lankeowker5878 i agree the fish is out there,but i think its stuck since the fish cant walk on land unlike the pig If the fish somehow find its way out into the ocean now that would be a huge problem.....
This is why You're the fucking best! Others are doing 30 min to 40 mins videos, and You are like, Happy's Burger Farm? Hold my Beer *proceeds to do a 2 hour godamn playthrough*
I had a morbid thought when he got to the old fashioned diner near the end and started making the burgers and shakes. After he made the first order and rung the bell and nothing happened I thought to myself "What if they put all this here to see if they successfully programmed you to cook without being asked?" Would have been hilarious if it was an endless mode section that just kept sending in new orders at that part completely not apart of the actual storyline. Just to see how long someone would keep doing it before deciding to discover the rest of the outside area and activate the quest line again.
Was anyone else bothered by manly working in the game before clocking in? NEVER EVER give your employer free work, even in a video game about a dystopian past.
I guess it depends on what type of job you work at. I usually start 15 mins before I clock in to make my shift go easier and smoother. I suppose many people in this country have personal grudges against their particular employment choices.
My favorite thing about this (aside from the scope/scale of the game) are the references to the prototype Barn game - many of the hidden locations/fights being a reference to the original simulation, along with the truck comment, all of which overall made it seem like since playing the prototype, we literally have been preparing for these fights One can only hope wagee's need not use their work skills in the future to combat horrific creatures like E7/E42
It's confirmed from one of the audio logs you can find that E7 is the character you play as in Happy's Humble Burger Barn, and that because it was an older, more experimental version of the complete simulation, E7 was able to "wake up". It explains why in the ending of that game, things get REALLY weird before your characters vision changes to "hi res" (this franchise's way of telling you you're in the real world), and he escapes the compound. I really love how the dev team tied the stories and lore of both games together so well. Some AAA titles don't have that level of effort put into the continuity. 👏🏽
Though I agree it's not as scary as the original prototype, I was rather impressed by this. It's basically a conspiracy adventure game with a horror dressing to it, and I can work with that. The sheer amount of things to do, collectables to find, easter eggs building upon the lore, that all genuinely surprised me; I didn't expect there to be so much to do in this. Also, I will say I appreciate Manly's editing here to focus on that side of the game instead of including all the cooking segments; while I am sure the commentary would have made them enjoyable, this was a smoother experience.
Recent negative steam reviews mainly complain about gameplay and glitches, but favored (if anything) the story - but gameplay and world building seem to be more impressive than the story alone. But it definitely comes together in an interesting way.
So this is kinda like a universe where Disney fused with McDonald's to become the ultimate soulless megacorporation? Chicken mickeynuggies and a Mickeyrib. Saying those out loud work almost too well.
Manly leaving all the electronics on and not closing his apartment door when he's not in a nice part of town is enough to make my city dweller side twitch. 😖
Manly, how dare you edit down 6 hours of gameplay into a more consumable and well structured 2 hours. Are you out of your mind? I need the 6 hour version. (But seriously though, thank you for the work you put into this one, it's a long one for sure!) (But seriously seriously 6 hour version when?
Just wanted to say that here's hoping you reach a million before the end of the year! And man, I remember really enjoying the demo of this, excited to see what the full release has in store
3:23 Thanks for scrolling through that booklet. The developers really went out of their way to craft a rich history of fictional fast food mascots turned fearsome.
Something that really helps that I did not realize at first, the only things you can burn are the grill items. Happy Dogs, baked items and fries/nugs can be left alone so it helps to pre-make anything else. Great job Manly!
What really stuck out to me was the monster design for the farm animals. Petey's design made me think that the designs would all be grotesque and in turn, somewhat overly reliant on that (because Petey's design didn't stick out to me much) but I was pleasantly surprised by Charlie and Sammy's designs. They look like abominations, just like Petey, but Charlie's design really does invoke a fear response when chasing but when he's still, it feels like I'm watching a natural predator in its ecosystem and is nice to look at. Sammy's design just stuck out to me the most even though we saw very little of it (the jaws opening outwards instead of normal up and down was a very nice eldritch touch to me). Happy's design just fell super flat to me though, a possessed suit that has 3 different gimmicks to it that then finds its way out just doesn't sell "main antagonist" vibes to me. Idk, just some rambling thoughts at 1AM
I've been watching this channel for a few years and I'm extremely glad the randomness of the algorithm finally chose him so that he's now exponentially gaining traction. It's well-overdue and I can't wait to see how this channel progresses in 2022.
I remember first seeing a vid of his in 2020, I believe it was the horror animal crossing fan game with the uhh- owl guy (forgot his name) and I thought that the play thru wasn’t too bad. And I kept watching more and more vids and then now I’m here, a pretty happy subscriber. Although Manly kinda has a monotone voice and doesn’t say much else it’s kinda nice, and I rly like how he tries to voice act for the various characters.
@@Mystery-Wolf Manly lack of reactions to normally scary games is amazing the ones that make him even jump or say something out loud are the really good ones
Not his voice, but his lack thereof is why I watch. I don't understand why some RUclipsrs need to fill in every second of silence with their squawking. We're not on the radio
Yes. I know. I love it. He's relaxing and calming. I like how he talks like a regular gamer. He's observant and makes comments here and there. Sometimes he's just quiet for a long time. I also love how he does all the endings for the games. He's different than other RUclips gamers I watch. Not better. Just different. I love it, though. Lol.
His voice is soft but has this very vague crack to it now and then that makes it so perfect for horror games, along with the aforementioned pausing and not constantly spamming words.
As a RUclipsr that upload almost daily, playing different games and willing to play through all different endings or looking for secret, is very rare. Truly love this channel.
I fucking love it oh my god. Only watched 2 hours, but felt so long. Got my attention for a full 2 hours whew. The guy's scythe was pretty scary with how close it was. Also I love that until the very end, the simulation was still working a fast food joint. Even if we're in magma, or a cabin in a corn field, we still have to make burgers. Most games starting like this just has the start, and then it goes into what the actual game is about. So the fact that we started making burgers, and ended the fights with making burgers was such a nice gimmick. Anyway, hope VIC and E7 can meet each other in the afterlife, somehow.
I honestly felt like they didn't know what to do with the ending... I heavily agree that the horror aspect isn't scary whatsoever. Even the beta/prototype of this game had a better horror aspect where they built onto it slowly instead of sprinkling elements all over the place for no reason. Kinda wish they didn't outright say it was stimulation at the beginning either and built more into that because it's really kills the feeling of us finding out later on. Anyway, really good playthrough of this game! I'm glad you were one of the people to upload it in one full video as well as separating the gameplay and the story nicely.
I agree. The dialog was so straight forward. They practicly kept saying the same thing in different sentences it kinda threw me off right in the begining. Definitely wish it had more time in development. It feels sooooo close to being finished but not there yet
Decent critique. What we lost in the horror and narrative progression aspect is replaced by a stronger emphasis on gameplay and design. If anything, the lack of polish on those aspects is my critique, as having tighter controls along with easier inventory management would make the frantic gameplay more enjoyable, as well as meld the major story events to the emergent design more smoothly. As for the ending itself, apart from the logistics of it, it was far better than the beta. The fight with the last mascot was good enough, as was walk through the final area. Overall, a very impressive game that lays the groundwork for an even better sequel.
I don't think there was ever supposed to be any surprise to finding out you're in a simulation because this game acts as a sequel to Happy's Humble Burger Barn, with it's ending revealing the simulation aspect. Telling us that we're in one at the beginning of this game gets the obvious out of the way so the story can focus more on the mysteries of what happened here and what they were working on. Although I do think they could have done a better job letting people know that this was a sequel, and that players should play the original first to understand all the story context.
@@static-ky I've seen the first game and how all that went through. Hell even this one references the first game with not just the whole simulation and being a part of the same facility but literally shows that they built over the restaurant from the first game. I just feel the scientist scene wasn't need from how most if not all of the game already shows it's a simulation from context clues and other info. Players aren't dumb, well hopefully they aren't, to figure out that it IS one. But I do agree telling it then does help focus on other mysteries although I don't think it helps with any mysteries from the previous one much. Still nice they talked about the company behind this all and what happened to people on the island. Honestly forgot it was sequel until I remembered there was a game similar to this and rechecked it out before it came out. But yeah they really should've done a better job on saying this was sequel because it gives the vibe of being a standalone game when it isn't.
I think your main confusion of the plot comes from the fact that there are 2 stories here. the simulation, and the monsters. the monsters are unrelated to the simulation. they are stored there because they were found there, and are too dangerous to transport out. the simulation is to test and develop mind control chips so everyone in the world can be a good wagie. the monsters are an unexpected kink in the corps plan that they are trying to find a use for.
Honestly I like this, it's a nice take on the "evil toys/cartoon characters" trope that makes it feel different. Like these beasts are more of a force of nature, a form of poetic justice rather than mad science gone wrong
As someone who worked fast food for 2 years, this video gives some hard nostalgia as aside from the horror, is pretty realistic but I definitely have some horror stories of my own from there 😅
Personally my horrors from being fast food employee is the people that harass you and you cannot do a thing about because the customer is always right, gave me more respect for those that still work there though
@@zarakblack8737 Never understood those people. I'm always polite and patient even if they fuck up my order. Why be rude to people just doing their jobs.
Before it's too late I just want to say, I've been watching for 5 years and have been a fan this whole time. There's still plenty of videos of yours I need to catch up on, but you've always been a creator I loved watching especially whenever my sleep schedule was horrible and fit in with your uploads (like right now). I don't know if you helped me during these five years, but you definitely made me laugh with your corny jokes and made me happy with your videos. You deserve these views and subscribers, and I hope you continue to grow and do well in life. So congratulations on reaching 1 million (well when you do sometime soon)!!! *You did not find Manly's soul*
i love how calm manly is during his shift, theres a BIG line of customers asking for a LOT of stuff and hes just doing his stuff calmly without any panic
Lore: I made a helmet in order to remove my mind control chip. I will finally escape this corporate test facility and uncover the truth of this whole operation MBS:....so heres where the tomatoes are....
I love the update in the game. It turns into STEAK N’ SHAKE AND SERVES BREAKFAST! Lol. Great gameplay Manly. it made me laugh so hard the way you just threw the plate of food at the customer. Lol. Love your puns and your videos. Lol.
This game was clearly a labor of love. Mad props to the developer, its nice to see this kind of dedication to a project and people appreciate it so much more.
I honestly love the music in this game, especially the music that plays when you’re getting chased by Happy and the track that plays at the final diner
Been watching your playthroughs and I must say, you're commentary makes it much more enjoyable. It's also not overly dramatic and edited like other people's videos. Cheers to a million subs my guy! You deserve it.
we have to appreciate how manly says some things in game wont be shown because of how long the game is,errors,lesser and lesser space on the electronic etc. instead of other ppl skipping half of the game and saying that they didnt miss anything that is one of the many reasons manly is one of my favorite youtubers thank you for reading my ted talk
Tbh i only ever decided to watch this because i saw on gianni i-can't-spell-his-last-name's youtube that he voice acted in this game, and legit the whole time i was watching this i thought he voiced sammy since he sounds like duke nukem and gianni has a thing for voicing over duke nukem memes on his channel but it turns out HE VOICED THE GODDAMN SURGEONS!??!?!?! MY MIND WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN WHEN I SAW THAT IN THE CREDITS!!!
I really, really appreciate Manly and his style. He's the best gameplay RUclipsr. He's very insightful, doesn't dumb himself down to entertain the audiences, and not only put work into the gameplay but in the editing too! Thank you Manly you're the best.
I really like how he also explored EVERY single corner of this game XDDDDD this is gold.. I knew this game was more than just making a burger 🚶♀️ that's why I waited for him to play it 💯💯
Dude i love your videos, especially your commentary i am literally working on an exam with your video going on and sometimes i get a little distracted… but your voice is an appreciated background noise and it keeps me occupied while focusing on my work so thanks :D
Years later and I’m still waiting for an indie horror game like this to come out. I absolutely adore this game and lore and everything about playing it was so much fun. All the secrets and bosses and stuff… just such a great experience
It looks like at the end, you escaped the facility only to see a random survivor scale and wall and sadly get caught by what seems like a mutated cow mascot? Note the scream? Which is unfortunate after going through all that. but it makes you wonder why they'd waste all those resources on making animal mascots real when they can go for REAL horror and make Anime real.
I don't know why, but Manly's voice is so calming.. I used this video to fall asleep and take a nice and needed nap today. Now time to actually watch the video xD
I don't use this word lightly anymore but...*hella* good video. I like how you structured it and told us about the cooking thing there, i woulda been so confused with everything having been out of order aside from the grill, then suddenly yer doing all the foods and avoiding exploding naked guys. On a side-note, your coworkers in this are about like the ones working at fast food here that wonder why they don't make $20/hr. 15:03 ah, the classic floor lettuce. I think it is a partial simulation. Seeing all the wood in your apartment made that semi-clear. Like, some of it is literally objects implanted in your brain that aren't there at all, while others are there but seem to be changed in your brain's perception of them. I do think the crazy crap that happened with the flesh and animatronics had something to do with the war mentioned, perhaps some sort of weapon development? Anyway, not looking into it further, but interesting!
Manly: The world is ending and we live in a simulation but I gotta get my drinks! I ain't missing these beans for the world! Well to be fair a lot of coffee drinkers would rather the world end than miss their next cup.
Really appreciate the editing out of the lengthy cooking grind. I get that some folks really dig that gameplay, but it helps to not have to skip forward to find where the story happens. Great vid as usual.
Hey Manly, I'm a huge fan of your content, I watch your videos over many other yt channels even when they are playing the same games because I think that your style of play is fantastic, your content is better, your commentary is refreshing in this day and age of noise and constant barrage of action with it's calm and even tone, good humor and everything else. One thing I've noticed about your videos however is that often the volume of the game is quite low. Having released Let's plays myself (since deleted because low quality, might get back into it) I understand the dilemma of sounds in the game mixed against your commentary but often I feel as though I miss details in the game audio because it is just too quiet, I'm also hard of hearing and so I recognize it might just be my own handicap that causes this and I listen with headphones when I can't hear the game and usually that fixes it but not always. The biggest issue is voices and subtle noises. I could play the game myself but I don't have enough time and money in the day to play every game I want to. So I choose to watch. Anyway I guess the tl;dr is, can we up the game audio in the future just a bit, so as not to disturb the commentary but also to allow us to hear what you hear. Also this game made me hungry
agreed!! i don't use earphones when watching his videos because i'm usually watching in my room on my own. most times i use his videos to sleep to, but sometimes i actively watch his videos and catch myself replaying certain scenes because i couldn't hear properly.

After he made the first order and rung the bell and nothing happened I thought to myself "What if they put all this here to see if they successfully programmed you to cook without being asked?" Would have been hilarious if it was an endless mode section that just kept sending in new orders at that part completely not apart of the actual storyline. Just to see how long someone would keep doing it before deciding to discover the rest of the outside area and activate the quest line again.
Honestly i would just keep cooking
That’s... actually pretty brilliant... hm... good one.
I actually thought it might be like that as a way to get money for the vending machine in case you didn’t have enough or something
Interesting idea!!
Was anyone else bothered by manly working in the game before clocking in? NEVER EVER give your employer free work, even in a video game about a dystopian past.
I guess it depends on what type of job you work at. I usually start 15 mins before I clock in to make my shift go easier and smoother. I suppose many people in this country have personal grudges against their particular employment choices.
@@justabearbrowsingyoutube4968 it's a job
you're giving free labor
stop
literally illegal.
@@thesun5275 Some of us take pride in what we do. You just have a poor attitude or do not enjoy what you do.
@@justinfrazier9555 I take pride in what I do and I love my job but I will never ever work for free.
Time is a precious resource, and I'll be damned if I give free labor for a job I'm supposed to be getting paid for, especially if it's hourly
My favorite thing about this (aside from the scope/scale of the game) are the references to the prototype Barn game - many of the hidden locations/fights being a reference to the original simulation, along with the truck comment, all of which overall made it seem like since playing the prototype, we literally have been preparing for these fights
One can only hope wagee's need not use their work skills in the future to combat horrific creatures like E7/E42
It's confirmed from one of the audio logs you can find that E7 is the character you play as in Happy's Humble Burger Barn, and that because it was an older, more experimental version of the complete simulation, E7 was able to "wake up".
It explains why in the ending of that game, things get REALLY weird before your characters vision changes to "hi res" (this franchise's way of telling you you're in the real world), and he escapes the compound.
I really love how the dev team tied the stories and lore of both games together so well. Some AAA titles don't have that level of effort put into the continuity. 👏🏽
@@DarkDragon1889 I think it’s cool how the prequel came first
Though I agree it's not as scary as the original prototype, I was rather impressed by this. It's basically a conspiracy adventure game with a horror dressing to it, and I can work with that. The sheer amount of things to do, collectables to find, easter eggs building upon the lore, that all genuinely surprised me; I didn't expect there to be so much to do in this. Also, I will say I appreciate Manly's editing here to focus on that side of the game instead of including all the cooking segments; while I am sure the commentary would have made them enjoyable, this was a smoother experience.
Recent negative steam reviews mainly complain about gameplay and glitches, but favored (if anything) the story - but gameplay and world building seem to be more impressive than the story alone. But it definitely comes together in an interesting way.
The prototype is also a pretty cool prequel. I wonder what happened to the guy in the prequel.
_Not as scary?!_
@@liviwaslost could have been E7 or Maverick Cooper
@@fenrirsrage4609 yeah, he is most likely him. Plus, we didn’t get to hear his voice in the prequel so probably.
It's funny to call Charlie "Not Kentucky fried" when the achievement for frying him is "Salute the Colonel!"
The most unrealistic thing about this game is not the monsters, but the fact this guy has his own apartment on a fast food salary.
So this is kinda like a universe where Disney fused with McDonald's to become the ultimate soulless megacorporation? Chicken mickeynuggies and a Mickeyrib. Saying those out loud work almost too well.
the concept of that is more horrifying than any horror game
Dystopia…
The food combinations would be pretty cool, but they would only look good in the commercials lol
3:30 They got a whole Happys Cinematic Universe already.
It honestly baffles me it hasn't happened yet. US antitrust laws are almost meaningless now.
"Thank you Happy! But your burger is in another restaurant."
Mario: Sucks doesn't it?
ManlyBaddassHero out-of-context:
"Alright, let's go to the museum, I've brought a bomb with me just in case."
Manly leaving all the electronics on and not closing his apartment door when he's not in a nice part of town is enough to make my city dweller side twitch. 😖
Manly, how dare you edit down 6 hours of gameplay into a more consumable and well structured 2 hours. Are you out of your mind? I need the 6 hour version. (But seriously though, thank you for the work you put into this one, it's a long one for sure!) (But seriously seriously 6 hour version when?

Holy shit. Jon St. John actually voiced the salmon. That's amazing.
I’m so glad I wasn’t the only one who pointed that out.
Made me happier Manly thought it was Duke Nukem too.
Big the Cat became a freaking salmon.
21:21
honestly I would definitely watch the full 6 hours of this. even if it's repetitive, I like seeing the process from start to finish.
Just wanted to say that here's hoping you reach a million before the end of the year!
And man, I remember really enjoying the demo of this, excited to see what the full release has in store
MORALEZ
Dude I remembered that demo! That was a loooong time ago. Manly reaching 1mil is gonna be a badass start of the new year
He's been on the grind for 10 years, he deserves it.
but it is the full release tho...
@@bigbobrossa8524 I commented this within the first couple minutes of the video upload
3:23 Thanks for scrolling through that booklet. The developers really went out of their way to craft a rich history of fictional fast food mascots turned fearsome.
Manly's videos are always relaxing and entertaining. To be honest.
Something that really helps that I did not realize at first, the only things you can burn are the grill items. Happy Dogs, baked items and fries/nugs can be left alone so it helps to pre-make anything else. Great job Manly!
What really stuck out to me was the monster design for the farm animals. Petey's design made me think that the designs would all be grotesque and in turn, somewhat overly reliant on that (because Petey's design didn't stick out to me much) but I was pleasantly surprised by Charlie and Sammy's designs. They look like abominations, just like Petey, but Charlie's design really does invoke a fear response when chasing but when he's still, it feels like I'm watching a natural predator in its ecosystem and is nice to look at. Sammy's design just stuck out to me the most even though we saw very little of it (the jaws opening outwards instead of normal up and down was a very nice eldritch touch to me). Happy's design just fell super flat to me though, a possessed suit that has 3 different gimmicks to it that then finds its way out just doesn't sell "main antagonist" vibes to me. Idk, just some rambling thoughts at 1AM
charlie's design is the strongest imo, esp given how the developers made him move. the raptor mannerisms are very well done.
I've been watching this channel for a few years and I'm extremely glad the randomness of the algorithm finally chose him so that he's now exponentially gaining traction. It's well-overdue and I can't wait to see how this channel progresses in 2022.
I remember first seeing a vid of his in 2020, I believe it was the horror animal crossing fan game with the uhh- owl guy (forgot his name) and I thought that the play thru wasn’t too bad. And I kept watching more and more vids and then now I’m here, a pretty happy subscriber. Although Manly kinda has a monotone voice and doesn’t say much else it’s kinda nice, and I rly like how he tries to voice act for the various characters.
@@Mystery-Wolf Manly lack of reactions to normally scary games is amazing the ones that make him even jump or say something out loud are the really good ones
who else just loves how relaxing his voice is?
Not his voice, but his lack thereof is why I watch. I don't understand why some RUclipsrs need to fill in every second of silence with their squawking. We're not on the radio
@@thisismywill very good point
Yes. I know. I love it. He's relaxing and calming. I like how he talks like a regular gamer. He's observant and makes comments here and there. Sometimes he's just quiet for a long time. I also love how he does all the endings for the games. He's different than other RUclips gamers I watch. Not better. Just different. I love it, though. Lol.
His voice is soft but has this very vague crack to it now and then that makes it so perfect for horror games, along with the aforementioned pausing and not constantly spamming words.
Omg yes, I would love for Manly to read me a story while I drift off to sleep 😴
As a RUclipsr that upload almost daily, playing different games and willing to play through all different endings or looking for secret, is very rare. Truly love this channel.
This isn't a horror game, this is just a normal day working in food service
20 year cook here; can confirm.
I fucking love it oh my god. Only watched 2 hours, but felt so long. Got my attention for a full 2 hours whew. The guy's scythe was pretty scary with how close it was.
Also I love that until the very end, the simulation was still working a fast food joint. Even if we're in magma, or a cabin in a corn field, we still have to make burgers. Most games starting like this just has the start, and then it goes into what the actual game is about. So the fact that we started making burgers, and ended the fights with making burgers was such a nice gimmick.
Anyway, hope VIC and E7 can meet each other in the afterlife, somehow.
I honestly felt like they didn't know what to do with the ending...
I heavily agree that the horror aspect isn't scary whatsoever. Even the beta/prototype of this game had a better horror aspect where they built onto it slowly instead of sprinkling elements all over the place for no reason. Kinda wish they didn't outright say it was stimulation at the beginning either and built more into that because it's really kills the feeling of us finding out later on.
Anyway, really good playthrough of this game! I'm glad you were one of the people to upload it in one full video as well as separating the gameplay and the story nicely.
I agree. The dialog was so straight forward. They practicly kept saying the same thing in different sentences it kinda threw me off right in the begining. Definitely wish it had more time in development. It feels sooooo close to being finished but not there yet
Decent critique. What we lost in the horror and narrative progression aspect is replaced by a stronger emphasis on gameplay and design. If anything, the lack of polish on those aspects is my critique, as having tighter controls along with easier inventory management would make the frantic gameplay more enjoyable, as well as meld the major story events to the emergent design more smoothly. As for the ending itself, apart from the logistics of it, it was far better than the beta. The fight with the last mascot was good enough, as was walk through the final area. Overall, a very impressive game that lays the groundwork for an even better sequel.
I don't think there was ever supposed to be any surprise to finding out you're in a simulation because this game acts as a sequel to Happy's Humble Burger Barn, with it's ending revealing the simulation aspect. Telling us that we're in one at the beginning of this game gets the obvious out of the way so the story can focus more on the mysteries of what happened here and what they were working on.
Although I do think they could have done a better job letting people know that this was a sequel, and that players should play the original first to understand all the story context.
@@static-ky I've seen the first game and how all that went through. Hell even this one references the first game with not just the whole simulation and being a part of the same facility but literally shows that they built over the restaurant from the first game. I just feel the scientist scene wasn't need from how most if not all of the game already shows it's a simulation from context clues and other info. Players aren't dumb, well hopefully they aren't, to figure out that it IS one. But I do agree telling it then does help focus on other mysteries although I don't think it helps with any mysteries from the previous one much. Still nice they talked about the company behind this all and what happened to people on the island.
Honestly forgot it was sequel until I remembered there was a game similar to this and rechecked it out before it came out. But yeah they really should've done a better job on saying this was sequel because it gives the vibe of being a standalone game when it isn't.
@@yume_ster well now I k ow this is a sequel gotta go find game play of it

"you've also unlocked the soundtrack to The Transformers: The Movie" made me laugh so hard lol, was thinking that throughout the whole thing.
talking head: "i see you looking at me, got something to say?"
manly: yes
proceeds to say nothing
I think your main confusion of the plot comes from the fact that there are 2 stories here. the simulation, and the monsters. the monsters are unrelated to the simulation. they are stored there because they were found there, and are too dangerous to transport out. the simulation is to test and develop mind control chips so everyone in the world can be a good wagie. the monsters are an unexpected kink in the corps plan that they are trying to find a use for.
Honestly I like this, it's a nice take on the "evil toys/cartoon characters" trope that makes it feel different. Like these beasts are more of a force of nature, a form of poetic justice rather than mad science gone wrong
As someone who worked fast food for 2 years, this video gives some hard nostalgia as aside from the horror, is pretty realistic but I definitely have some horror stories of my own from there 😅
Similar vibe as a retail wagie for 10+ years....the monotony and awful pay are the real horrors.
Personally my horrors from being fast food employee is the people that harass you and you cannot do a thing about because the customer is always right, gave me more respect for those that still work there though
Thank you for your service
U GOTTA TELL US NOW
@@zarakblack8737 Never understood those people. I'm always polite and patient even if they fuck up my order. Why be rude to people just doing their jobs.
this game really went from surreal fever dream demo to a full-fledged reflection of my bummer life
Watching Manly's gameplay has got this charm to it and it is always so relaxing, great video as always!
this game really makes you FEEL like you have a weirdly laid out apartment
Before it's too late I just want to say, I've been watching for 5 years and have been a fan this whole time. There's still plenty of videos of yours I need to catch up on, but you've always been a creator I loved watching especially whenever my sleep schedule was horrible and fit in with your uploads (like right now). I don't know if you helped me during these five years, but you definitely made me laugh with your corny jokes and made me happy with your videos. You deserve these views and subscribers, and I hope you continue to grow and do well in life. So congratulations on reaching 1 million (well when you do sometime soon)!!!
*You did not find Manly's soul*
Oh jeez..... That was beautiful :'0....
Can we talk about how this manages to capture the gmod's creepy background and aesthetic of it
I like the realism of a fast food joint of running in to unclog the toilet then going straight back to handling food without washing your hands
“I don’t know”

The manly man was too stunned to speak.
i love how calm manly is during his shift, theres a BIG line of customers asking for a LOT of stuff and hes just doing his stuff calmly without any panic
"Unlocks the Transformers the Movie soundtrack." is an absolutely platinum level geek reference right there. Also spot frigging on but I mean....yeah!

I love the update in the game. It turns into STEAK N’ SHAKE AND SERVES BREAKFAST! Lol. Great gameplay Manly. it made me laugh so hard the way you just threw the plate of food at the customer. Lol. Love your puns and your videos. Lol.
This game was clearly a labor of love. Mad props to the developer, its nice to see this kind of dedication to a project and people appreciate it so much more.
I honestly love the music in this game, especially the music that plays when you’re getting chased by Happy and the track that plays at the final diner
Been watching your playthroughs and I must say, you're commentary makes it much more enjoyable. It's also not overly dramatic and edited like other people's videos. Cheers to a million subs my guy! You deserve it.
'I used to be a line chef like you, then I took a burger to the knee' tickled me. Mainly because I am a line chef.
They really went all out with this game + this playthrough's great,love it
we have to appreciate how manly says some things in game wont be shown because of how long the game is,errors,lesser and lesser space on the electronic etc. instead of other ppl skipping half of the game and saying that they didnt miss anything
that is one of the many reasons manly is one of my favorite youtubers
thank you for reading my ted talk
love how manly always seem to know when im going to sleep so he can haunt my dreams by putting the most fucked up things on my notifications bar
Tbh i only ever decided to watch this because i saw on gianni i-can't-spell-his-last-name's youtube that he voice acted in this game, and legit the whole time i was watching this i thought he voiced sammy since he sounds like duke nukem and gianni has a thing for voicing over duke nukem memes on his channel but it turns out HE VOICED THE GODDAMN SURGEONS!??!?!?! MY MIND WAS ABSOLUTELY BLOWN WHEN I SAW THAT IN THE CREDITS!!!
I think you're the ONLY RUclipsr is make it pass the first few parts of this game... thanks for your work manly
The openness, interactivity and all the secret nook and crannies make me think of Postal 2.
i dont think that's minimum wage if you can afford THAT condo.
I really, really appreciate Manly and his style. He's the best gameplay RUclipsr. He's very insightful, doesn't dumb himself down to entertain the audiences, and not only put work into the gameplay but in the editing too! Thank you Manly you're the best.
I really like how he also explored EVERY single corner of this game XDDDDD
this is gold.. I knew this game was more than just making a burger 🚶♀️
that's why I waited for him to play it 💯💯

Perfect timing 2am cozied up in my blankies watching ManlyBadassHero not to mention 2 hr play through what more can one ask for 🙏
Years later and I’m still waiting for an indie horror game like this to come out. I absolutely adore this game and lore and everything about playing it was so much fun. All the secrets and bosses and stuff… just such a great experience
It looks like at the end, you escaped the facility only to see a random survivor scale and wall and sadly get caught by
what seems like a mutated cow mascot? Note the scream? Which is unfortunate after going through all that.
but it makes you wonder why they'd waste all those resources on making animal mascots real when they can go for
REAL horror and make Anime real.

I don't know why, but Manly's voice is so calming.. I used this video to fall asleep and take a nice and needed nap today. Now time to actually watch the video xD
I like how the game blends open world, horror and work simulation in such a unique and functional way.
Really love all the work they put in the game, I especially enjoyed reading all the little tidbits of lore :)
I don't use this word lightly anymore but...*hella* good video. I like how you structured it and told us about the cooking thing there, i woulda been so confused with everything having been out of order aside from the grill, then suddenly yer doing all the foods and avoiding exploding naked guys. On a side-note, your coworkers in this are about like the ones working at fast food here that wonder why they don't make $20/hr.
15:03 ah, the classic floor lettuce.
I think it is a partial simulation. Seeing all the wood in your apartment made that semi-clear. Like, some of it is literally objects implanted in your brain that aren't there at all, while others are there but seem to be changed in your brain's perception of them. I do think the crazy crap that happened with the flesh and animatronics had something to do with the war mentioned, perhaps some sort of weapon development? Anyway, not looking into it further, but interesting!
I recommend looking into the first game for plot clues, since this is a sequel
Manly: The world is ending and we live in a simulation but I gotta get my drinks! I ain't missing these beans for the world!
Well to be fair a lot of coffee drinkers would rather the world end than miss their next cup.
Really appreciate the editing out of the lengthy cooking grind. I get that some folks really dig that gameplay, but it helps to not have to skip forward to find where the story happens. Great vid as usual.
Hey Manly, I'm a huge fan of your content, I watch your videos over many other yt channels even when they are playing the same games because I think that your style of play is fantastic, your content is better, your commentary is refreshing in this day and age of noise and constant barrage of action with it's calm and even tone, good humor and everything else. One thing I've noticed about your videos however is that often the volume of the game is quite low. Having released Let's plays myself (since deleted because low quality, might get back into it) I understand the dilemma of sounds in the game mixed against your commentary but often I feel as though I miss details in the game audio because it is just too quiet, I'm also hard of hearing and so I recognize it might just be my own handicap that causes this and I listen with headphones when I can't hear the game and usually that fixes it but not always. The biggest issue is voices and subtle noises. I could play the game myself but I don't have enough time and money in the day to play every game I want to. So I choose to watch.
Anyway I guess the tl;dr is, can we up the game audio in the future just a bit, so as not to disturb the commentary but also to allow us to hear what you hear. Also this game made me hungry
agreed!! i don't use earphones when watching his videos because i'm usually watching in my room on my own. most times i use his videos to sleep to, but sometimes i actively watch his videos and catch myself replaying certain scenes because i couldn't hear properly.
I am decibel deaf in my right ear and hard of hearing in my left...I feel your pain...I just wish I could understand Manly clearly like I used to.
For some odd reason I love the slapping sound of the ingredients
37:02 Your local Elder Futhark nerd here! The green rune is Sowelu, meaning energy and wholeness, the orange one is Nauthiz, meaning constraint or necessary pain, the grey one one is Algiz (but upside down), meaning protection, the blue is Laguz, meaning flow, and the red one is Fehu, meaning nourishment and possessions.
